  SPEAKER_01: This one was a little bit more exciting for you.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: You got to host or plan your first Disney wedding.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_02: It was really fun.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_02: It was cool to see Disney work like on the backside because you don't ever see like the behind the scenes.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_02: And their teams were really, really amazing.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um, like I felt at points I was like, what am I supposed to be doing?
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_02: Because they already had it all handled and in other locations.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's not like that.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_02: Like sometimes I'll be doing a lot more physically, where there I made sure my couple was good.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_02: I made sure their personals were where they needed to be and like prepped them.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_02: But it was really a fun experience besides it being like a hundred degrees.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: I was to have the kids the day of the wedding.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_01: You were with us the other days, but it was hot in August in Orlando.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_02: They made a very good choice uh because they did their ceremony very early, uh not super early, but like 9 30.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: So before it was like super hot.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: And then they everybody got a midday break from 11 to 4.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: So like the hottest part of the day, everyone could go back to their rooms.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: Some people braved it and went to the parks, which I was like, absolutely not.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: We went to the pool.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: And then they did their dinner reception in air conditioned, like inside.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_02: And then at night at 7:30, we got into Epcot for desserts and fireworks when it was like kind of cooler.
• 1:33
  unknown: Yeah.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_01: And you got to go on a solo cosmic rewind.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: That was the wedding party.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they closed down, like the park was already closed down, and then all the guests that wanted to ride, because some guests were like, I'm not riding it.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: But most of us got on the bus and then we rode Cosmic Rewind.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody in line.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: We were like the last people on.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm kind of jealous because our son does not like Cosmic Rewind.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_01: He likes Guardians, but cannot.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think he's tall enough, or if he is tall enough, he don't want to go on it because I scarred him from the Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: Our daughter was tall enough for Slinky Dog Dash, which was fun.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: She did not like it.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_01: She hated it.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: But then our son did get to ride it and he didn't like it the first time.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: He likes it now.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: So fun trip.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, there will be another Disney wedding in the books.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like I would love to plan another one maybe in a year or so.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: I need a little Disney out exhausted.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: But our guest today, she is planning a destination wedding of herself while also going through the chaos of the baseball season.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Celine Holt has spent nearly a decade in the hospitality and events industry with a resume that has taken her from cruise ships to private clubs to one of the most iconic sports venues in Pittsburgh.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: For the past five years, she's been with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where she currently serves as the manager of Ballpark Entertainment, helping create the game day experience for tens and thousands of Pirates Pan Pirates fans at Pancy Park.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: And because apparently working an MLB schedule was not enough chaos for her, Celine also is an October 2026 destination bride who has quite literally had to plan her wedding around baseball season.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: We'll get into that later.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, today we're talking behind the scenes baseball, Pittsburgh, the event industry wedding planning when events are literally your profession, and whether working in entertainment makes you the easiest bride ever or an absolute nightmare.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_02: Welcome to Absolutely Not Another Podcast, Celine Holt.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_02: I think that is.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: We uh had Kayla on.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: Shout out Kayla, she was an IUP alum, and I was like, we gotta get someone from SRU to just banter about that a little bit.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: But you did start Slippery Rock.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: Same major, shout out Bruce Bolivar.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: Love Bruce.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: What were some of the experiences that you had at Slippery Rock that led you to the career that you're doing today?
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I actually started as a PT student, which I feel like most people start as like exercise science going into sleep.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, guilty.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then first semester, I was terrible at anatomy, like did great in high school, and I got there and I was like, this sucks.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: I cannot do this.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: But found the university program board, um, like the first events fair, and I drug my roommate there, and I was like, I need to find UPB and I need to find Greek life, the first two things.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_00: And then once I was there, I was like, oh, like this is actually really cool.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think I could find a job out of this.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: And so I stuck with UPB through all four years.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then after I said, I am done with XI, I am done, tried public health, didn't work.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I went to Bruce and I was like, hey, I want to go work on cruise ships.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Can you help me out?
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: And he was like, Yeah, absolutely.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like, welcome to hospitality.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: And then a couple years later, had an internship with them with Carnival Cruise Line.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: We can get into that a little bit later too.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: But um UPB was my biggest thing, and then just getting super involved in Panalenic.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: Um, LFC Delta was the sorority I was in, um, but was always one of the like event chairs or always planning something, concerts, events, whatever it was on campus, but always wanted to have that next level.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then also got involved in the Pirates when I was in college.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I was on their Bucko Brigade shooting t-shirts and being involved, which got me to where I am today, which is super cool.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: I had no clue you did that in college.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: So started uh freshman into sophomore year and then kind of got my foot in the door there and then kind of full circled back post-grad.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's amazing.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there's a lot of slippery rock alum that were on Bucko Brigade.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: Someone most recently shout out D-Ray.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: I saw that he did it a couple of years ago.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_01: He's like the Slippery Rock icon for it.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_01: What were some of your favorite concerts or guest speakers that you had that came to Slippery Rock?
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: The first concert we ever had that I was there for was Lil Wayne.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: So I was like, okay, this is sick.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, speakers.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Steve O from Jackass.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: So that was a really cool one.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I grew up watching those.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know if I was supposed to be 12 years old watching those movies, but loved meeting him.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we had a lot of like the full house cast also.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: Very cool.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but those were probably like my big ones.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then Simple Plan came, so it was like my genre of music growing up.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so very verse catalog that we had.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but those were some of the ones that like definitely stuck out while I was there.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think I was on UPB freshman year, and it was Whiz Khalifa had his Rolling Papers album that came out, and they had the opener was J.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: Cole.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: And it was before J.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: Cole became J.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: Cole.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: You're like, you know J.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_01: Cole?
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: J.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: Cole is.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: I also went to that concert.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was in the ARC at the time, and then it was before the new student union.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: Is that where they hosted the concerts when you were there?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_00: Or was it like we were still at the ARC for most of them?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then um we moved them to the student center for a couple, like in the ballroom, like the smaller ones.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then I think the new student union came after I graduated.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: We're the last one we think we were supposed to have, I graduated during COVID.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: So we were supposed to have Roddy Rich.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: So that's when like the box became really big and he had like one hit wonder kind of thing in my mind.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, I don't know what else he sings.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: But then we announced that everyone went crazy, and then two weeks later, they're like, you guys need to go home.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like that's sad you graduated during COVID.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know that.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: So you didn't get to you didn't guys didn't walk or anything, right?
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: Like we had the option to, but I was like, I'm good.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: I got I got my deployment.
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_02: We're good.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_02: No, one thing that I think is really cool is that the hospitality major that we all went through, like people end up all across the board and all different walks of hospitality.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like cruise ship was one of the things that at one point in my life I was like, I could totally see myself being on a cruise ship.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so can you talk a little bit about your experience on Carnival and maybe some things that you experienced there that you are still useful for you today when working at PNC?
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: I love that internship so much.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I actually turned down an internship with Garrett to go work on Carnival.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but spent literally three months on a cruise ship.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone's like, oh, like you guys get off days, you guys like fly in every day, or like, how do you guys get to work every day?
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, no, we literally live on the cruise ship, work every single day, had off hours.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: We got to go off and explore ports every day, which was so fun.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: So host deck parties, trivias, bingos, the whole bit.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I think being able to work with just a such diverse array of people.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I was like one of I think like five Americans on the ship, which was super cool.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so got to work with so many walks of life.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: And then just being able like something I picked up was saying hello to everyone every day and just being able to like be friendly, say again.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: Be friendly.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, literally like be friendly, but also we never knew if it was someone's first cruise, if they were celebrating a wedding, if they were celebrating graduation, anniversary, whatever they were coming for, but that could have been their first vacation that they saved up for in such a long time or whatever it was they were coming on vacation for.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, same thing translating to the ballpark.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: I always tell my team it could be someone's first game, it could be their birthday, it could be the one game that they're doing their uh family reunion at this year.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: So make sure that everyone who comes to the ballpark gets that same experience no matter what, 81 times a year.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's really great advice for anyone listening that wants to work in hospitality.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: Say hi to everybody, smile.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Some people can be a little bit chippy when they're on a cruise line or at a hotel resort going through things like I was like that for a quick second.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, on our trip, our son's stuffies, like his lovies that he's had since he was a baby.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: So for five years he's had these, never spent a day apart from these things.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_02: Housekeeping took them on accident.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: And we came back from a day at the park, like in the morning, and I see all my daughter's stuffies.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: It's cute, you know, they set them all up.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: And then Tyson's like, Where's my where's my bluies?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I don't know.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: So I start like catching eyes with everyone, like, we need to look around.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: And we stripped all the beds and they took them on accident, obviously not on purpose, but a housekeeper did come to our room and was tried to blame us.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was like there was no they were like, Oh, there was no blue blanket, you must have taken them with you.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: And we're like, no, we didn't.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: I specifically told them it was too hot to take them into the park.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: And then the manager of housekeeping got my cell phone number and texted me a picture like 20 minutes later, and they had them.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: And she brought them back to the room and was like, Do you want us to go wash these for you?
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, No, I'll take them.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna wash them right now.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: A not so great Disney moment.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, could have been worse, but it ended up working out for us.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: So now you're at PNC, you're back at PNC Park with the buccos.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: Someone from the outside looking in and looking at what your job title is, what manager, ballpark entertainment, and they might have absolutely no idea what that is.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_01: Give us a quick behind the scenes of what you do on a game day or even prepping for a game day.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so um I like to kind of umbrella is like everything fun in the ballpark, like kind of super high level.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but two big parts of it is planning everything pregame.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: So I oversee all of our national anthems, first pitches, um, everything going on the field pregame from opening day to the last game of the season, color guards, any special ceremony, um, flyovers, award ceremonies, anything like that.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: But then I also oversee our bucket brigade, so the t-shirt tossers, the racing pierogies, the ball team.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so those are like my big like two categories that I have.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then I also help out with scoreboard.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: So going down to spring training every year, getting all the um players' content for green screen, um, walking us through all of those things.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: So those are like my like off-season but in-season things.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: So a lot of people are like, I have no clue what entertainment means.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_00: And they're like, oh, just like the like high-level like t-shirt tossers, like the entertainment stuff.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, no, there's so much more than that.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: I um we were fortunate to do the play ball for the first game.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_01: Is that something so that play ball, obviously, we discovered that Tyson and Benny, well, more so Tyson did it for our game.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_01: But when it comes to national anthem or any like special guest that's attending, is that something you're planning months ahead?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Or is it something that's like might be like you know, someone's in for a concert or something?
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: A little mix of both.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so we do a lot of our groups, we call them.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: So if it's like a if Slippery Rock University is having a game, we'll plan out all of our university nights, our theme weekends, and kind of hold those.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: We call it like our on-field book, but it's like this giant XL that has probably 20 tabs on the bottom.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: So it's every game we'll have one for the play ball kid, one for the national anthem, one for first pitch, and go through every single game and be like, okay, we have 81 rows for every single game.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and make sure we got Tyson on this day and then someone on that day.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: But we book all of our university groups, high-level ones, and then do that almost as soon as the season ends, honestly.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: So in like November, December, we're already doing those.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: You're prepping.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: And then as soon as this year turns, that's when we'll get in like the solos, being like, oh, like we have some availability in April already.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: We can't have a game without a national anthem.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna reach out to those local contacts and say, Hey, I have an opening this day.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: Want to come sing for us that day?
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: Fun, fun.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: I can't do the national anthem.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: Don't get me for that.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'd be too nervous.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I was surprised how nervous the kids were.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_02: Like I thought, okay, they're gonna be so excited.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: They were very nervous, but Tyson did say it, so it's like, okay.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: Proud He made it through.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: That that was a very cool experience.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_02: That was that was amazing when they got to do that.

• 13:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, all right, now I carried him like backwards on my back yesterday, and he was like pretending to be C3PO.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay, I'm not doing this for 20.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, so I'm sure you've had some amazing moments at PNC so far.

  SPEAKER_02: Has there been any moments that really stick out as like, wow, I can't believe this is my job.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: This is like the coolest thing I've ever done.

  SPEAKER_00: So my second year, so 2023 um was the I think 30th anniversary of the Sandlot.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: So that's one of like favorite nostalgia movies growing up.

• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I got the entire cast minus Benny, it's fine.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but had the entire cast of the Sandlot come to PNC Park that day and do like a reunion game for the 90s game that day, but they did um, I think play ball that day.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: They were a group salute, they did t-shirt tosses, but did like a full reunion autograph signing.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: But that was like one of the coolest, like combining like my childhood, but also my job and so many other people's like nostalgia moment for them.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, oh wait, my entire worlds are colliding.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: And your idea, like, how cool to see it come to fruition.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: It was the coolest thing ever.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I feel like I've I saw it, you posted, or I saw even like the pirates posting it.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_01: And I want to say we were like away for that, because otherwise I would be there.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: Because didn't you do a like a on the jumbotron?
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it was like before the game or before they came, like watching the sandlot on the jumbotron during that.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: So we did a movie night on the field.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: We do it yearly.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_00: So I think um that year we did a sandlot watch party, and then we've done like Angels in the Outfield.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: I think this year we watched like a Captain America movie or something, but usually we tried a theme of baseball.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: I think that year was also Sandlot.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: I mean I don't want you watching Captain America, that's your thing.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: I love Captain America.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Um, besides like something you're proud of.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: Is there any weird request that you've gotten while working there in the last five years?
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: Whether it's like someone that wants to come.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_01: I saw that you had Kirk Herbstreet with his dog, which was great, but is there something like out of left field, no pun intendant, that wanted a request to be at the ballpark?
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: We get a lot of them.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um one that happened recently, I don't know like how it all came to fruition.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna be so honest, I forget what one of the guys' names was.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_00: But um Bill, I think he pronounced his last name like Faggerbaki, like Figgerbaki, but he's the voice of uh Patrick Starr.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: So he came to the ballpark.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: He did it the game after us, yeah.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: The day after.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: We were like, oh my goodness.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: But they did first pitch, and then we had him say play ball, and then called the pierogi race, but in the Patrick Star voice.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: So it was like combining Ginzer, like we taught him like all the names of the pierogies.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: So he had like little note cards, and he's like, Who's winning?
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I love pierogies, I love potatoes.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, that's Jalipino Hannah.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: But like, I could not do the Patrick Star voice, obviously.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but just all in that like that's funny dialogue, and I was like, that's insane.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and then there was one recently, um, so the pierogies favorite.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I had an email the other day that a bunch of Polish sisters, so I thought it was like, oh, like sibling sisters.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: No, these were Polish nuns.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_00: Nuns came to the ballpark the other day, and they're like, we can't grasp the concept of these pierogies running around the ballpark.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: Can you get a couple of them to come surprise them during their dinner?
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, oh my gosh, absolutely.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: So they came running in while they were eating and they're like, This is the best day ever.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's hilarious.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: They're like all just celebrating, they're like, Can we get pictures?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: And they're like, You just made their entire trip.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_01: The Great Pierogie Race is like one of the most iconic things that happens around Pittsburgh.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: People like go to the games to watch that.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: They will they'll watch the buccos, don't get me wrong.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: But once what the fifth inning it happens, people just start what stop watching the game.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I feel like we stay specifically to watch the pierogi race.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: And then if the kids are done, we're like, okay, well, we stayed that long.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if I'm there with the kids, it's pierogi race.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_01: If we can make it to the seventh inning stretch, great.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_01: We never make it for the entire game.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yeah, time for bed.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Time for bed.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: They're done.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_02: So professional sports has historically been a male-dominated industry.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_02: What has your experience been building your career as a woman in that field?
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: So whenever I came in, um, felt like I really had to push myself a little bit harder.
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: It felt like um, I deal feel like I've definitely earned my seat at the table.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I am the only woman in my like direct chain departmentally um right now, which is awesome to say.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, it's like, that's crazy to say at the same time.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I feel like a lot more women are coming into the sports industry recently, and I'm like, that is awesome.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: So snaps to all you women out there.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but definitely slowly becoming like more of like a 50-50 split, which is um, especially in those more um game day related parts as well.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: So like more of like those clubhouse rules, game day stuff where it's not just sales or marketing or those things, um, but the more untraditional sports roles that we don't often think about.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's cool to see you like thriving in your role because it inspires other people to be like, I could totally do that, or I should go, I should try, I should at least try, or they can lean on you for support.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_02: I see you doing a lot of like panel discussions and showing up for people that might be interested in getting into the field and maybe they're just scared because it is so male dominated.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: So kudos to you for that.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: What would you say to like a young woman that loves sports and doesn't want to, doesn't know how to get in and like what kind of path would they have to look for in it?
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I think honestly, go for the role that you want.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_00: So if that's something in marketing, go for marketing.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_00: If it's something in sales, go for those.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: But it is at the same time like a very um hard field to get into right now.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I started in a thing that was not a full-time job.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_00: So I started seasonally, got my foot in the door, made that good, um, had that good rapport with the people above me.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then a couple of years whenever I came back, they're like, oh my goodness, I remember you.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: You were so great in this role.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: Let's elevate you.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: So even if it's that seasonal role, that non-traditional role while they're looking to elevate to that.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_00: One of those things I see a lot of people get into whether it's internship, seasonal, and they get elevated to that role throughout the years.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like a lot of people are scared to start from the bottom and work their way up.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, most of the people that I know, that's how we all started.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: Was like we literally were like bottom of the barrel doing whatever we could to learn.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: And so I do think if people aren't willing to do that, it is hard to get in.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, do more in a role like internship.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_01: I was folding folding towels, making a hundred snow cones a day.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: I was dressing up as Tanner the Turtle.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: I was saying yes to doing anything because it's showing that like I'm committed to whatever position that I want to get to down the road, which did end up happening.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_01: So just keep doing that.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_01: And that goes like like boys and girls uh for it.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_01: And I think a lot when it comes to hospitality, especially where we were at, it's it like at a private club, there's a lot of strict rules that they they still have like old ways and trying to push to like the new generation of like how to handle certain things.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like there was a place we worked at that you couldn't wear cutoff t-shirts.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you couldn't wear a tank top, and my dad got kicked out of the lot.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: Couldn't wear certain like swimsuits.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was crazy, but I'm sure some of that stuff has changed since we departed there, but some of it has those old ways of having to like run things at those.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um but now you are um you're an event professional, but now you're also in the bride seat.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you've spent your career creating experiences for thousands of people, and now you are planning the client planning one of the biggest events of your own life.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: So has there been an event professional uh made wedding planning easier or has it made it more particular?
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: I want to say a mix of both in a way.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like literally for the last 28 years, I thought it was going to be the most type A bride there ever was, like to borderline like bridezilla.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um so, like whenever I first got engaged, like I remember telling like my friends family, I'm like, I'm gonna plan every detail, like down to my bridal shower, which is like traditionally like friends and like your mom and all those things.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: But I was like, no, I'm gonna do all this.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_00: But once we started planning, I was like, I am so hands-off right now and I'm so okay with that.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so we're going through Royal Caribbean for our wedding.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: So we're doing destination, but with them.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: So we're not getting married on the ship, but getting married like on the beach.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_00: So they take care of so much.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: So very similar to the Disney aspect of it, where it's like, hey, here's this package, you pick everything, and they're like, So you have a pre planner, you have a ship planner, so you guys are all good.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you don't have to do anything.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, this is kind of nice.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm okay with this, but we don't have to do the C.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Arrangements.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have to do the cookie table.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to do it at my bridal shower, but like not on the ship and all those things.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: Where I'm like, oh, like I feel like I'm forgetting everything at the same time.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm like, I don't have to make all those big decisions.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: Where I feel like I make a lot of decisions at work right now.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, I'm kind of okay with this.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I was the same when we got married.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_02: I was just like planning other people's weddings that I didn't really want to plan my own.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, just run it past me.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm good with it, like, cool.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: No, it is nice though when you have like an on-site coordinator, like a ship coordinator, whatever they called it, that they are gonna be your go-to person.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_02: They're gonna be handling everything so you can disconnect and really be present.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: That doesn't happen always.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: Oh gosh, no.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_02: So it is nice that the cruise ship takes care of that.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_02: And this is kind of off topic of your wedding, but I helped a virtual client that was doing a cruise ship wedding.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I didn't know this was an option, but they were like, oh, we have some people that like do not cruise, like they won't cruise out onto the water.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_02: And you could do your wedding before the cruise ship takes off.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_02: So like you could have a big wedding, they're like, Yeah, we're having like 120 people, but only 50 of those people are like cruising with us after, and everybody else could depart.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, that's the coolest thing.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, especially if you're like living in like one of those ports like Miami or something like that.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_00: You can bring everyone there, get them on, get them little guest passes.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: So we did a lot with carnival.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: So DJ'd a couple weddings while I was there.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, they would bring them all in and then be like, okay, four o'clock, we gotta go see you guys later.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then they would go and either call it like still their wedding or like their honeymoon, however they wanted to word it, but could still have everyone then there, and then everyone's define by 4 p.m.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: Brilliant.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so social media, I think, has completely changed the way a lot of people plan their wedding or how they get inspiration.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_02: Has there been anything along your journey, if you're watching things online, that has inspired you or you've decided to include in your day?
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_00: So, yes and no again, um, because we can't take a lot of things with us.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: So having to worry about like baggage weights because we're flying to Texas to get onto the ship.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: So um having to get to there and we're like, okay, how do we distribute our bag weight?
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: I need to carry my dress on where I'm trying to like mentally do everything.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna do um one idea I saw, I think it was on TikTok.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, this girl, she had a giant like banner hanging down from like her grand staircase.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: And so I was like, okay, that's something easy.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: I can like fold it up, put it in a bag, light.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: It only takes maybe like five pounds, if that.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so simple decorations, but nothing like too extravagant.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so we're gonna do that, and then um gift bags for everyone.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: So especially being Pittsburghers, the terrible towel.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: So the custom ones we're gonna do those.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: So fun.
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so we're like, okay, how what can we make custom?
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: And then beach bags for everyone, little things inside, like so the amenity bags everyone has.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I've been looking on TikTok, different things, being like Pinterest, okay, how can I like make these custom, but also make it enough where I'm like, okay, not going overboard, but also useful.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you want it to be useful.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: I do think social media can be so helpful in that way, especially when you have like an idea of what you're looking for.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: You can type it into the search bar and just video after video pops up.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm using it more of a search engine nowadays than like a Google or something.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Same.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, if you are shipping anything, we just ran into it for what welcome bags for the wedding e-pad.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh, I keep forgetting.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: They arrived on Monday.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Disney has a rule that they will not hold your will hold like a package for longer than three days.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: So my couple shipped their package on a Monday with like two-day shipping.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: So it should have been there by Wednesday.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_02: We were arriving on Thursday, and I was supposed to pass out the welcome bags.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: They never arrived.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_02: They were like in a holding place somewhere in Orlando, and we had to call USPS.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: We called Disney and like a meeting with a couple different people.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: They did not get delivered until Monday evening, and we were departing Tuesday morning.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody from the wedding had left at that point.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_02: So don't ship them.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: Don't ship it.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: If you're shipping them, ship it like express shipping.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: She they did two to they did two two day, two to three day shipping.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_02: But like still it, I don't know why it was sitting, it was a weird thing.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, there's nothing anyone could do.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: Like, we couldn't retrieve the package, they couldn't locate the package.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_02: It was just like sitting in a warehouse.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_01: So the up lights came in on time.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: Up lights came in, so we had those.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: We found out about the Amazon lockers.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: So we're like, okay, if we like Amazon two-day everything, get it down, we're like, maybe they'll like hopefully come to there, but now you got me a little bit nervous.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not trying to stretch you.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: The up lights were Amazon.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: The other things were not Amazon, so you're like, are Amazon good, the other ones was ship.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we had to ship it back to the couple.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, hopefully you see these people again.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: You can give them a little their backs were cute too.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: It had like your stuff, fans, suntan lotion, things they would have utilized.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: Sorry, guys.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_03: Sorry.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_01: So you're getting married October of this fall.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_01: The pirates potentially could be playing in October.
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right now they're not.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_01: We've got a lot of injuries coming back.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_01: But did that like working with the pirates, did that dictate when you planned your wedding date?
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I our regular home season ends, I think, two weeks before we would sail out.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: So traditionally, not traditionally, but in the past, we've been done regular season, have made to the playoffs in a couple years.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be optimistic this year.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so the way it works out with the playoff schedule this year, I would be home for wild card, and then I believe the DS, and then I'd be gone for championship series, and I'd be back for the World Series.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, okay, there's enough buffer in the middle where I could like make the important stuff on both ends.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but over the last couple of years, I've kind of realized like life doesn't wait.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, I'm gonna go no matter what, and they're still gonna play baseball and I'm gonna prep everything for them.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_00: But this is like the biggest thing of my life so far.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna go and enjoy this vacation no matter what.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: And I I don't want to knock the pirates, but they're under 500 right now.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: But like, oh no, Cruz is back, Connor Griffin will be back.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_01: The walk-up yes, I wasn't saying, yeah, it's like every single time I I think, oh yeah, I think a season's over, they do something, they have a little comeback.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: Well, maybe, maybe, maybe.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll see what happens for.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_01: I always have said, like looking at for the season this upcoming year, I did predict them over 500.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_01: I said, not this year, but next year.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_01: And then there might be a lockout.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't really know what's gonna happen, but I think that might be good for us if that does happen, because then I don't know.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like we like I don't know what a lockout is, and I don't know what under 500 means, but yes, I agree in baseball.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_01: No, we'll we will be good eventually.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_01: Eventually, I'm holding in hope.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, all right.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: We have two quick, quicker questions.
• 28:25
  unknown: Oh, yeah.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: Gary, you want to ask the first one?
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_01: I got well, I know the answer to this, at least on my end, because I was fortunate enough to be at one time and I did win.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: Pierogi races.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_01: People want to know, are they fixed?
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_00: They're not fixed.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_01: See, there we go.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: On record.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_02: I saw him fighting for his life out there.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was a struggle.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_01: It was a struggle.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_01: I like got halfway through and I'm looking at the pirate parrot.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot that you ran.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I completely forgot when Tyson was a baby.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like, it wasn't my first year there.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm like, what is he talking about?
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh my god.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I get on, I get my suit on, and I'm like, guys, it's not really fitting.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, oh, it's fine, we'll get it attested really quick.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_01: It was a quick out, and then it was a quick double play that happened.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like, we gotta go now.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, I can't see.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: So I just go out there and I just start running.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh, I was gassed halfway through.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: Once you hit the bullpen, you're done.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_01: The only one I would um there might have been.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_01: Who were you?
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oliver Onion.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oliver Onion.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: Oliver Onion.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_01: There was one that was definitely maybe fixed.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_01: There was the, I think it was Yinzer Palooza, and it was one of the progies did not win a race.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: Was it when Saul came?
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_00: Saul did his rehab assignment.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he came back.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_01: David Bedmore fixed him.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was fun.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I love being the progy.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was a good time.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_01: And I got to do the progy eating contest.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: Not a good time.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_03: Not a good time.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_01: It was a good time, but I'm like halfway.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_01: I my issue was because I like found out I was doing it, and my mistake is I trained for it the day prior to the city.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_01: He did, like we practiced.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_01: He practiced, not me.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I did not do well at all.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_01: I almost beat Goob.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_01: He also didn't win.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_01: But the guy that won, I think he finally got upset.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_00: He got upset this year.
• 30:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's been like five-time champion.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_01: His jaws were matched.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_01: I will never be able to win this one at all.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: My question is take one, eat one, throw one away from the Pittsburgh cookie table.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my throw one.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'll start with that.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_00: I hate thumbprint cookies.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_00: With like the extra icing, and then like the sprinkles around the outside, just a little too much for me.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: So those are my.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: Too much for Celine.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_00: She's out.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um I feel like chocolate chip cookie is a staple, so I'm gonna make that my take.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'll take them my take, and that was the last one.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: Eat.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: Which one are you eating more?
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: A Ladylock.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: Great choice.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's definitely.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm eating those.
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_01: I'm probably taking the Ladylock, actually.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think you always say take Ladylock.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_02: I would be a take Ladylock.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what I'm throwing away still.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: Seven layer bar.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_02: Anything with coconut.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like if there's a baklava.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_01: I love baklava.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: So good.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-oh.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_02: You do have to watch though.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: Some of the uh homemades have like hairs in them.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_02: I see a lot of goods.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_02: Bill's character.

• 31:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 32:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right, first one.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: Someone has had way too much to drink, and security needs to get involved.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_01: Ballpark or wedding.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like that's like a casual Tuesday at a ballpark.
• 32:12
  SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say, it doesn't happen that frequently at weddings, but it does happen.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Like I was at one in the last three years where the cops showed up.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, throwing hands.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, ballpark, I feel like that has to be daily.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_01: Like people that are tailgating 100%.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: I might have been one way back in the day.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_02: Like, how many people do you think get kicked out for like over drinking at a game?
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: As I see, like, I don't say frequently, because there's so many people there, like percentage-wise, but definitely happens.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'd say at least like once a game.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's like fireworks tonight.
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely more like a weekend game than like a the Wednesday, Thursday matinee, yeah.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_01: Like no chance.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: But you never know.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_01: Could be too hot.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_01: Next one.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_01: Someone grabs a microphone who was absolutely not supposed to have a microphone.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_01: Ballpark or wedding.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think it would be that chaotic at a wedding.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's pretty quick, like it's a small group.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but I feel like if that depends on who's grabbing the microphone.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: And what they're trying to say.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_01: You got a streaker at a ballpark that comes through like during the national anthem being sung or performed.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say, as the person who's like a microphone like overseer, that stresses me out.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was gonna say I feel like that's a button to turn it off.
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like if they're like someone grabs or says something super inappropriate at a ballgame, it could be way worse.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_01: Thousands of people were seeing it.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: Thousands of people versus a wedding where it's probably like drunk Uncle Bill got on the microphone for a toast and we're like, all right.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you weren't supposed to give a toast on the turn over.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, what?
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that um it probably would go more viral at a ballpark too.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_01: Like we would all see it on TikTok.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_01: It wouldn't just be at any ballpark, it would be on TikTok later that day.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody did, I do remember on TikTok seeing this, they staged somebody like giving a speech at a wedding that shouldn't have been, and everybody was following the story, and then it came out.
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_02: They were like, Yeah, we that was like completely fake.
• 34:13
  SPEAKER_02: Like, got me.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_02: Got me.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_01: A child is completely unsupervised and has disappeared from where they're supposed to be.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_01: Definitely more chaotic at a ballpark.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 100%.
• 34:27
  SPEAKER_01: What is there like a code?
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_00: So we probably can't reveal them.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not a code, but we all have um walkies.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: So um almost every single employee in the ballpark has a walkie.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_00: So we have like a almost like a command center kind of thing where it's like, hey, insert information here, and then they all just kind of go into like security mode, make sure they get reunited.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that gets that can be crazy.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like that happened a couple of times at a hotel or resort that we were working at.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_01: Happening at a ballpark.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's chaotic as is whenever we have our kids there, and we go to like the playground area, and I'm all eyes on the kids at all times, but that could be like 50 minutes.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_01: We're helicoptering.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm a helicopter parent, like crazy when I go somewhere like that.
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_01: The weather forecast suddenly turns very bad.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like at least for a wedding, there's usually a backup location.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like you're pretty, I feel like I'm very on the weather, like looking at it constantly.
• 35:26
  SPEAKER_02: But you guys probably are at a ballpark too, right?
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so we had like our grounds crew there like monitoring their iPad literally all the time.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I almost want to say like wedding film, like it impacts like a smaller group of people, but it's like their one day to do it.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_00: Like we play a baseball game any time.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you could delay or like doubleheader the next day.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is true because like with a wedding, there has been somewhere, like you've set up a wedding and then all of a sudden rain really comes out of nowhere.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_02: And we've had to like pick up their stuff and move it, and then all the staff has to stay longer, and then everything's delayed by an hour and a half.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_02: That only happened one time for me at Ocean Reef, but it was like a very stressful, terrible day to be able to do that.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_01: It happened to our friends.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, kept off and on raining, and it got to the point where we're lined up to start the wedding, and it starts pouring down rain.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_01: She's like, forget it, we'll just start.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_01: We're just going and they did the wedding in the rain.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_01: The only thing that may make it chaotic at a ballpark is if the uh Tart Monster makes an appearance.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_01: TARP monster.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_01: Our our neighbor for and his dad, and I think his dad.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_01: Like they the it's a family generation of um people that have been grounds crew members.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_01: No way.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and he he wasn't there for Tart Monster, but he worked with the guy that was the one that got sucked up by the Tart Monster, and he has the shirt of like, I survived the Tart Monster.
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_01: Good old Steve.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_01: DeMatio, you know the name?
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_00: If I saw them, I'd recognize it.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_00: There's so many of them.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_01: His um he whenever I took the picture of our kids before the game, and he was like, Man, that grass looks really good.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: Like he's like, man, we're not even commenting about the kids.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um two grown adults are screaming at each other in front of everyone.
• 37:11
  SPEAKER_02: Again, this might happen a lot at the ballpark.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_01: It does not happen a lot at a wedding, no.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_02: It would be more chaotic at a wedding, I'd say.
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Uncle Bruce and Uncle Bill are about to get in a fight.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_01: Fight.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: Someone is demanding to speak to the person in charge.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_01: What what's the issue that's a good thing?
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it depends on what the issue is.
• 37:37
  SPEAKER_00: Like, is the person in charge like your coordinator, or is it is it the bride?
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_02: Like what's I feel like people come up to talk to me to like complain about certain stupid things all the time, and I'm just like, yeah, okay, yeah, work on that.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, if it's the bride saying something or the parents that might be you know paying for a if it's a guest, that is not chaotic to me.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, you can talk to me.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_02: I don't really care.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_02: You're not paying the bill.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_01: So um the music, it starts playing at completely the wrong time.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_00: I say we'll get in trouble for that sometimes.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Like MLB has like a really strict like rule book where it's like, hey, music needs to be off at like this time on the pitch clock, like can't be while like the pitch is being thrown, anything like that.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: So like even like sound effects like the like claps for like the crowd to go along with or anything like that.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, no, you cannot play like during all these times, like every other like is that because it goes on like television that like certain sounds need to be on?
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_00: The way they play, a little bit of both.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: So that would win for you for wedding.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, well, just turn it off.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: Turn it off.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_01: This is not their first dance song.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_01: I want like not it wouldn't be bad, like in terms of a game itself, but if someone's walkout song is not their walkout song and they're superstitious, does that happen?
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_01: It's happened once or twice.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_02: They might get a little upset.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_00: Oh so they'll stand there like they'll look up a little bit and they'll be like, whatever.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'll get up there.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm on the they're professionals, they can get up and play.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_01: Someone is complaining that their seat is no good and they have a bad view.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_01: So it would be if they have a bad view of the game or they have a bad view of what the couple, or they're just put in the back.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_02: This gets a little bit chaotic at a wedding when that happens, I feel.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_02: Because like you you're in a planned spot for a reason because of food service or whatever it may be.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_02: So when people are complaining, I'm kind of like just sit in your seat for the hour.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_02: There's nothing I can really do for you right now.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like PNC Park doesn't have much of like obstructive.
• 39:30
  SPEAKER_02: Do people complain about where they sit?
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_02: They bought the ticket.
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: I said they bought the ticket.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they bought the ticket.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_01: The one like this is my biggest scrape.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: It I don't think it's more so at PNC Park, but when it comes to a football game, and it can go into a concert as well.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_01: You go to a concert and you're going to a football game, depending on where you're sitting, you're standing up.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: And if you bought a seat where you're sitting down behind like and you're behind someone that's standing up most of the game, like I'm sorry, but I I'm standing up for the Steeler game, or I'm standing up for a more so a concert than anything.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_01: There I'm nice, I'm nice when I'm at a Steeler game.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'll sit down if they're far away, but if they do a good play, I'm standing up.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_01: We've had issues with someone at a concert though recently.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_02: So mad, like literally they were mad at the people in front of us, which we were the last row in like a the section.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_02: And they were mad at the person in front of them for standing during the concert and asking them to sit down, and we're like, We paid for these tickets.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_02: And the person's like, So did I, like, I'm standing up.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_01: And he sat down and then uh he turns around and the ladies were standing up.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, Well, if you can stand up, I'm standing up.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then they got in another heated argument.
• 40:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then the couple, it was like a whole different thing.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_01: We might have mentioned this on the podcast earlier, but they were like breaking up, yeah.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like the and then their techs were up, and we were all like everyone behind was staring at the texts.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_01: The guy left that was fighting with the people next to us, and then she's texting saying she's gonna file for a divorce on that Monday.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_00: It was so messy.
• 40:58
  SPEAKER_00: What background you took is playing at this point.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_01: At that point, Morgan Wallin was on, it was great.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_01: But then the guy that was there with his girlfriend was holding hands, holding hands with the girl that was texting about a divorce.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_01: What is going on here?
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_02: And even our kids' babysitter was sitting a few rows back.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_02: She also saw everyone was like we like tuned in.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: It it was like a TV show.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_01: But no, I would say, yeah, I feel like maybe a wedding's bad.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_01: But when it's like the seats no good at a game, I guess at Bill Stadium, the their new up in Buffalo.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_01: People were complaining about their like new seats at the new stadium, not have like having obstructed views.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_01: But like, yeah, if you're going to a game, you pay for the seat.
• 41:41
  SPEAKER_01: Deal with it.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you see, you can see on the app what your view is.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: I definitely look for like any concert, anything I go to.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'll like go on that little thing and see where what you're gonna be seeing.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_01: There is a technical issue, and suddenly a microphone isn't working.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_02: It's not chaotic at a wedding for this.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_01: You can be loud, you can just talk.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_01: If you're like singing the national anthem, probably worse.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_01: Probably worse.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_01: If anything, you might get like the crowd chiming in and singing the national anthem if it happens there.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_01: But like other issues.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like you're trying to talk to way more people and like get whatever message they're trying to say.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_02: It would be more chaotic in a ballpark if it's not working.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_02: We're at a wedding, it's like 100, 200 people.
• 42:24
  SPEAKER_02: Like they can shout.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: Figure it out, yeah.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right, last one.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_01: There is a line somewhere, and people have decided the rules of the line no longer apply to them.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_02: Not chaotic at a wedding, I don't think.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_02: If people go to a ballpark and cut, I'm like, I feel like it could it could end badly at a ballpark.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it could be that like people arguing and fighting in the earlier one too.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I don't know, maybe ballpark.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_00: I was picturing like a kid's run the bases, like lines don't exist anymore.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, it's done.
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_01: Those happen what on Sundays?
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_00: Every Sunday.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we gotta go to a Sunday game.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_00: Just go late so the kids are.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, don't show up.
• 43:05
  SPEAKER_01: Show up at the start of the progi race and hang out.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_01: Because it does start what, like 1.30 typically for Sunday games.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, lines don't exist for kids.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_01: But if someone like I'm gonna get uh Krabby fries and someone cuts in front of me, even if it's like two rows, I'm like, body upset.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'm over it.
• 43:26

• 44:01
  SPEAKER_01: Got it.
• 44:03
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely yes.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: If your parents are paying for the wedding, they deserve a say in the guest list.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_02: Do we have to reveal it?
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_01: You can reveal it.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_01: Ready.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_01: Three, two, one.
• 44:16
  SPEAKER_01: Go.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_02: Fine.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like they should have a say in certain things, like, or can give their opinion.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I don't think they should be the end all be all decider.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_00: No, like I'll take your like if you're like, hey, I think you should, not saying you should, like, give me your opinion.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_00: Doesn't mean I'm like, hey, you need to invite my second cousin.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a family reunion.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, you did you have to be particular with your list?
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like with your guest list as a destination bride, or no?
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_00: No, we kind of did like more than what we would have if it was local, knowing that a lot of people wouldn't say yes.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: So we're still going with, I think.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think we originally had around 75, had some people um have some other things go on, get pregnant, all these other things.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_00: So we're down to about like 50 to 60, which is more than I would have.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: That's like a perfect thought.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but cast out more wide than we would have here, knowing it probably would have like doubled if we had a look at I just watched a TikTok this morning.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how I must know my algorithm at this point.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_01: It was Larry David discussing a destination wedding itself.
• 45:20
  SPEAKER_01: And he's like, if it's an hour and a half uh drive or more, I'm not going.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, you can count me out.
• 45:26
  SPEAKER_01: It's like okay, Larry David.
• 45:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's very blunt.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_01: Number two, is it oh it is okay to invite some guests to the ceremony only?
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not, or absolutely yes.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not, absolutely not.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_02: Except for other countries do that.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: Other countries do I think I talked about it on here before, but it's called an evening guest where you're invited to the ceremony.
• 45:51
  SPEAKER_02: You are not invited to the reception, like the dinner, but then you're invited for like dessert and dancing after, like the fun part.
• 45:58
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm like, I that's like I think England, like a lot of other countries do it.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_02: America really does not do it, but I think it would be rude in America to invite someone just to the ceremony and be like, you know what?
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_00: Don't come for the don't come to the dinner or anything else.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_00: It reminds me of like a sleepover when you're a kid and you have like the party and then you have like the secret sleepover.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, the VIP sleepover with your close, close friends.
• 46:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like talking in secret, like, hey, after this, don't leave.
• 46:22
  SPEAKER_01: Like uh, I feel like it's flip-flops in America where you might have an intimate ceremony and then a big reception.
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and people get butthurt about that, but I don't mind that.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, I know the ceremony is the most important, but if I want to be invited to a ceremony, I'd be like, Yeah, all good.
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm all right.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm all right.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_01: All right, wedding party members should be required to pay for professional hair and makeup if asked.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_02: I would say absolutely not in most cases.
• 46:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, if if they talk about it beforehand and there's like a cost, and then the person is like agreeing to it, and then they have to book them.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_02: Like if the bridesmaid's like, yeah, no problem, I'll pay for that, and then they sign a contract, and then last minute they're like, Oh, I'm not paying for that.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_02: Then that's kind of messed up.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_02: Like on the opposite side of that conversation.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we don't we don't have to worry about that.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_01: No, no professional hair making.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_02: I also feel like if hair and makeup is astronomical, like the price is like$500 per person, then that is a lot to pay.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I would, I don't know.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_02: I I would not pay that.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_00: No, I also like am so particular about certain things like that.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't think I've ever been in a wedding where I truly loved like I hate it, usually my like hair making wedding done.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, I can just do this on myself and like know I'm happy with it and everything else.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I don't want like I've it's your special day also, but like I also want to feel pretty.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: I had one where it was so bad I got airbrush makeup done.
• 47:45
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know, probably like a hundred and twenty bucks or whatever.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: I went back to the room, didn't say anything.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: I just washed it off and redid it myself.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, that was a waste of money, but you know, it is what it is.
• 47:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for the guys, we just sort of like, what time do we have to be ready by?
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_01: And go play nine in the morning.
• 48:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're ready to go.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_01: We're good.
• 48:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um if someone attended, if you attended someone's wedding a few years ago, they should be invited and attend yours.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_01: I guess might be depending on the relationship with that person now, right?
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_01: I would say, I don't know, absolutely not.
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree.
• 48:21
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's like life changes so much in the middle, too.
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_02: Especially in your 20s and 30s, life truly changes.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_02: Like some of the friends that we had back in our 20s, I haven't talked to them in years.
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_02: And I if they got married now, I would not be offended if I was not invited.
• 48:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, okay.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_01: Or like if I was a or if they were a groomsman of mine and I'm not in theirs, that's that's yeah.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, if I'm not invited, that's also fine too.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_01: If it's like a smaller get-together, but like we got married young and and you're in high school and all your like high school buddies, like, oh yeah, we'll all be invited to each other's wedding.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_01: There's probably five people from my high school that got invited, maybe more.
• 48:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think I invited one person from my high school.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_01: Like things do change drastically.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_01: And even college, I feel like the people that we invited from college then, I would say half would probably well, maybe more.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_01: There'd be a few that yeah, probably couldn't attend.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_01: I would say um, adults should be able to survive a child-free wedding without being offended their kids weren't invited.
• 49:25
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely, yes.
• 49:28
  SPEAKER_01: It'd be a free night.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I do understand like people declining an invitation because they can't bring their kids.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_02: Like I 100% get that.
• 49:36
  SPEAKER_02: If you don't have a babysitter, you don't have anyone trusted to watch your kids.
• 49:40
  SPEAKER_02: But you can't be offended if your kids aren't invited and it's an adult.
• 49:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's not your party.
• 49:44
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 49:45
  SPEAKER_02: I like if our kids are invited, most of the time we say no to them and we say yes to ourselves.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_02: So we're like, yeah, parents night out.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like I will take that.
• 49:54
  SPEAKER_01: Plus ones should only be given to guests in serious relationships.
• 49:59
  unknown: No.
• 50:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, no.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 50:03
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like very on the fence about this one.
• 50:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's one that also depends, like how like Larry David, how far are you traveling?
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_00: Like all those questions.
• 50:10
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if I'm going like destination, like I'm not gonna drive five hours by yourself, or like if I barely know anyone or anything like that.
• 50:18
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like there are there are a lot of like other circumstances to consider and your budget.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_02: So like if you do have a tighter budget, you're not gonna be throwing plus ones out to everybody.
• 50:27
  SPEAKER_02: You have to be more selective.
• 50:28
  SPEAKER_02: If you're in a serious relationship, 100%, they should get a plus one.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 50:32
  SPEAKER_02: But then, like you said, if you're traveling, if you're taking a flight, if you don't know anyone, those are all reasons that someone should get a plus one.
• 50:40
  SPEAKER_01: And that's not even like bringing a date.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_01: You can bring like your friend, your sister, your brother, like who might be a few.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_01: Travel companions.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 50:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay to invite someone to the bridal shower who isn't invited to the wedding.
• 50:54
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's that's kind of like the ceremony reception.
• 51:01
  SPEAKER_02: There's certain circumstances where I'm like, okay, like if you were doing a destination wedding or something where it's a very intimate wedding, but people want to throw you something and they're not invited, they know they're not invited to the wedding.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's like a different circumstance where I'm like, okay, I could see that.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_02: But if you're having like a normal wedding, and this happens a lot, where it's like a standard wedding with 150 people, and then you're inviting extra people to your shower just to get gifts.
• 51:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_02: I think that is so tacky.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_02: I couldn't imagine.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_02: Like, no, I'm not coming.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 51:32
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 51:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's rude to leave a wedding cake.
• 51:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, sorry.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's rude to leave a wedding before the cake is cut and formalities are finished.
• 51:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's rude to leave.
• 51:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 51:44
  SPEAKER_01: Before all of that.
• 51:45
  SPEAKER_01: Cake cutting formalities.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_02: I would normally, I guess I would say, like, absolutely, yes, you should try to enjoy like the dinner portion.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 51:52
  SPEAKER_02: I think if people leave before dancing, I don't think that's rude because some people like aren't dancers.
• 51:57
  SPEAKER_00: Like, especially if it's like grandparents or something like that.
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, after you finish dinner, like you don't need to stay for like the late night party of it.
• 52:03
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm like, at least like stay for your plate.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 52:06
  SPEAKER_02: I do see I have seen people like sneak out before the dinner, and I think that's strange.
• 52:10
  SPEAKER_02: I do, I do think that's rude.
• 52:12
  SPEAKER_01: What are the plans you have going on that you can't even stay for dinner?
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 52:15
  SPEAKER_02: Like it's good.
• 52:16
  SPEAKER_01: It's a good meal.
• 52:17
  SPEAKER_02: I think like having to stay sometimes cake cutting's like in the middle of dancing, like some people will do it late in the night, or there's certain things that will happen like later in the night.
• 52:25
  SPEAKER_02: I don't, I don't think it's rude to leave before that if you're not staying all time.
• 52:29
  SPEAKER_01: Not staying for the dollar dancer.
• 52:31
  SPEAKER_01: But like, yeah, like mentioning grandma, grandpa, older people, it kind of gets a little awkward when they're just sitting watching everyone dance, and I just peek over, and I'm at I'm on the edge of the dance floor, and I'm just doing my like very basic dance moves, and I turn around and Grandpa Joe's just staring at me.
• 52:49
  SPEAKER_03: Like I'm just sitting there.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like, no, this is awkward and weird.
• 52:54
  SPEAKER_01: Two more couples are responsible for making their guests have fun at their wedding.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I would say absolutely yes.
• 53:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 53:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you gotta plan the fun.
• 53:05
  SPEAKER_01: Don't be boring.
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_02: You're building the experience for your guests.
• 53:09
  SPEAKER_02: Like you're choosing, they don't get to choose like where they sit or what activities are happening, what food or drink there is.
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_02: So that's the host's job, I would say.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_00: And I feel like with the dance floor too, like if no one's on the dance floor, like if you're not there, like you're the one setting the tone for it.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 53:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 53:23
  SPEAKER_02: Couples will dictate if their wedding is like high energy or like low energy based on how they act.
• 53:29
  SPEAKER_02: For sure.
• 53:30
  SPEAKER_01: I would be on the dance floor all the time.
• 53:31
  SPEAKER_01: So we were on the floor.
• 53:34
  SPEAKER_01: Evacuate dance floor.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_01: Last one.
• 53:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay to grab a centerpiece on the way out.
• 53:42
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely not.
• 53:43
  SPEAKER_02: Unless they tell you to grab it, don't take it.
• 53:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 53:47
  SPEAKER_01: Most of those cost a lot of money.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_01: I had.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_01: Or would have to get returned.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_02: I had a wedding where that happened, and a ton of guests were taking the centerpieces because the DJ made an announcement, but the DJ was supposed to make an announcement to just take the flowers.
• 54:01
  SPEAKER_02: And so all these vases were getting taken.
• 54:03
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like they charged them$35 per vase that was taken.
• 54:08
  SPEAKER_02: So, like, you know, that's like an extra three, four hundred dollars the next day that the couple's getting.
• 54:13
  SPEAKER_02: And I was at the door trying to be like, don't take that, like, take the flowers out of it.
• 54:17
  SPEAKER_02: And they're like, the DJ said, and they were just like walking out with it.
• 54:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, all right, I can't stop it at this point.
• 54:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not the police.
• 54:24
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 54:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yikes.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 54:26
  SPEAKER_01: Our next segment is VIP Table.
• 54:30
